Banners were used as far back as the Old Testament. During the time of Moses, banners helped keep order among the people as they traveled across the desert to the Promised Land. Some were made of heavily adorned materials, others were simply long wooden poles topped with ornaments.

In ancient Rome, houses of nobility distinguished themselves by hanging banners with a coat of arms at the front entrances.

During the Middle Ages Knights used them to distinguish their prowess on the battlefield.
